AUTOTRADER

AutoTrader is the UK and Ireland’s largest digital automotive marketplace, attracting more than 247 million views of its advertisements each month with more than 450,000 vehicles listed at any one time from both private and retail customers.

AUTOTRADER UK CHALLENGE:

With customers viewing high-resolutions images in a fast-changing inventory, AutoTrader UK needed a Content Delivery Network (CDN) platform that could support a fast, consistent and engaging digital experience on its website. This is no easy task as each advertisement can have up to 100 high-resolution images to bring every aspect of a car to life, and customers access the site 24/7 from multiple devices.
